Palacio de Sal

Located on the eastern shore of Bolivia's Great Salar de Uyuni, the Hotel Palacio de Sal is built entirely of salt: walls, floors, ceilings, and much of the furniture. It has been named among the most unique hotels in the world by News Week and in the top 10 for great escapes by Travel and Leisure magazine. The 16 rooms have private bathrooms and electricity, and the hotel strives to mix the novelty of its structure with comfort and style. Amenities include a restaurant and bar, game room, and a unique 9-hole golf course (open from May to November) built on hard-surface salt against the stunning backdrop of the Salt Flats.
